- pp 145-175
TLDR
In this paper, the authors review the transdisciplinary challenges and opportunities associated with additive manufacturing technologies and explore the unique systems challenges created by the widespread adoption of those technologies, and discuss opportunities and challenges faced by AM users.Abstract:
Objective
Additive Manufacturing (AM) has intrigued the minds of many. The artist can create truly unique designs. The production engineer has a completely new way of making parts. The warfighter can repair or replace equipment on the battlefield. Moreover, any curious person can build trinket and toys at home. As such, the systems challenges facing AM users are not restricted to experts from one domain or one discipline, but are challenges faced by all. This chapter serves to review these transdisciplinary challenges and to discuss opportunities associated with (AM) technologies. The chapter also explores the unique systems challenges created by the widespread adoption of those technologies.read more
